Brought up on a farm, backpacked the world for three years and later ended up working within the IT industry. My main sailing experience is from sailing an X-372 and an Albin Nova based out of northern Sweden and Stockholm during the 1990s and 2000s. Participated in lots of races (2 hours to 72 hours) during those years. Crossed Bay of Biscay on a Bavaria 42 from Brest to Faro mid-2000s.
This summer I had the fortune to sail both a Diva 35 and First 35. Looking forward to meeting you all. This will be fun.
